We spent the New Year in Tokorozawa with Coco the dog. As usual the day before the New Year’s eve we had shabu-shabu for dinner.


Shabu-shabu

On the day of the New Year’s eve we left Coco at home to go to the fish market. Same procedure as every year, James… And as last year, and the year before, and the year before… It was packed with people. Phew.

It was good to get home so I could stretch my legs by walking with Coco. Then we prepared for dinner. Hand rolled sushi and crab. Yummy!


Coco the sheep???

On New Year’s day Chie, Coco and I went to the temple. Three tigers this year as well. To protect us from evil and sickness. Haven’t been sick so far, but the managers at the office are quite evil 😉 So maybe my tiger just have half its expected functionality.


Tigers for protection

Visited Coco this weekend bit the most surprising thing was that we were not Coco’s only visitor. This fellow also visited…

While Chie and I went for grocery shopping most of the neighbors on the street and two police cars with three police men came to “rescue” us from the snake.

Tokorozawa with Coco

Yesterday, in the not so early morning, Chie and I went to Tokorozawa. The traffic was kind of busy and it took us longer than usual to get there. But Coco was as happy as every to see us when we finally go there so it was worth it 🙂 In the evening we went to Musashi for dinner.



It was raining yesterday when we arrived in Tokorozawa so I did not take the usual walk with Coco. Today, though, the sun was shining in an almost blue sky. So Coco I went for a walk. It was a lovely spring weather and Coco seemed to enjoy it.



We were also lucky to find some cherry blossom. Just a few flowers on a twig but anyway 🙂



Tea Ceremony and Coco

At 1 pm I knocked on the door of my sensei. It was time for the monthly tea ceremony class. It went well and I left a little bit early as I was catching a train to Tokorozawa.

In Tokorozawa Chie was waiting for me at the Musashi where we had dinner, before returning home to Coco. He was very happy to see us again 🙂

Walking Coco the Dog

This weekend we went to Tokorozawa. It was quite some time since we last visited Coco the dog. He was quite excited to see us again. Though as usual a bit reluctant to walk with me at first. But once he get a sniff of the “real world” he likes it. And although it is autumn it is still warm – around 25 degrees this weekend.



Saturday night we had dinner at Musashi. A family run Japanese style restaurant in Shin-Tokorozawa. The food was great as usual 🙂



Sunday night we had hot pot at home. A spicy variant. Yummy! We also had 3 other dishes on the side (potato and asparagus in a creamy cause, chicken thigh and horse radish, and sanma (fish) with ginger). All very yummy 🙂
